That's just silly. The atheists here are no more a group that the Christians are.

That doesn't even make sense. There are INDIVIDUAL atheists who post on here along with all sorts of theists. How then could this forum be an "atheist group"?

And the credibility of a god or gods is supported by what evidence?

Your desperation to be right is showing.....

thus these forums are also a group of Toyota owners, people with cancer, people with children, people that live in Florida (and a group for every other state), people that live in countries other than the US, people who are retired, people who exercise, ............ and so on

I guess believing in illogical fallacies causes one to create other illogical fallacies.

You don't seem to understand that groups can be formed online. I have seen similar ones in real life. It's just a group of like minded individuals. What's wrong with that observation?

Fine. Don't call this a group if you don't want. But have you ever heard of Meetup or other similar groups which organize online? I've attended atheist and freethinking groups. I wasn't impressed with their beliefs. Nice people. I just didn't agree with their beliefs or understand their "logic". I see similar kinds of groups online.

Groups can be formed online. This isn't one of those. Groups have some kind of organization, purpose, or structure, etc.

So, we're back to this. Are you ready to admit that you spoke too soon about "atheist groups?"

Otherwise, what groups are you talking about?

Any group of like minded individuals qualifies as a group. The fact that it is not "organized" doesn't mean that it's not essentially the same thing. I know you are smarter than you appear.
